Subwoofer Choice Question SVS, Majico, JL Audio, REL

I have a pair of SVS-3000 subs. I have enjoyed them and they offer  a lot of bang for the buck.  I recently purchased a pair of the Fleetwood Devilles which I like very much.  Looking to upgrade my subs to match really well with my Devilles. Will be used for 2 channel music only. Want musical and  articulate bass that enhances and integrates well with the Devilles.  

Options are :

(1) SVS only this time going to the SVS-4000. Relatively inexpensive and I love their setup app.

(2) Magico A3Sub-built like  a tank, expensive though I can get a reasonable deal on  a pair and Magico will assist with the setup through REW

(3) JL Audio Fathom F112 or 113 V2- Good bang for the buck, lots of fine tuning available

(4) Rel (any of their carbon based subs)-Biggest concern is no phase adjustment. I am limited to where the subs can go so don't understand why they provide no variable phase adjustment.

Thoughts and comments welcome.

Rel is the one sub everyone compares their product to especially on this site.Just about every post on this site when talking subwoofers references Rel

The above statement is not necessarily true...Definitely not just about every post about subs...

REL is way over priced for what you get.

There’s also GR open baffle subwoofers not mentioned in this post.

Take a look at Power Sound Audio, and as mention earlier Rythmik, very musical subs for the money with phase and other adjustments with Rythmik having multiple connection options to be considered also.

@audiokinesis, there’s something to be said about a subwoofer manufacture that gives advice on how to maximize a competitors subwoofer’s musicality and output with nothing but positive and constructive things to say and more importantly what to do to get there.

OP, I admire you taking on using REW also for better subwoofer output and pleasing sound.
